    Out:  sausages; pack of sliced chicken; lamb & chickpea dhansak

    There might be things to go in later as I have a Magic Bag to pick up later from Morries!  Hope it's as good as the Costcutter one I got last week!

    Not much to freeze!  Just some chillies - a pack of finger chillies and a pack of mixed chillis.  There was some fresh stuff including a cauliflower, runner beans, 2 packs of oranges, a melon, a pack of baking potatoes and a box of mixed mushrooms so quite a good selection.  Will need to change the menu plan a bit over the next few days so use up the mushrooms as already have a box of chestnut mushrooms so think it might be a mushroom stroganoff on Monday!

    My onions from allotment going soft in their cloth bag, not sure why, dried them for a good few days before storing. Will have to use them sooner rather than later.

    Chop them up and freeze them, you can still use them in things like casseroles. I used to use the legs of old tights to store mine and knot them every 2-3 onions so they didn't really touch each other and hang them up where there is lots of fresh air, (under the porch at the back of the house) but now I tend to freeze the bigger ones as they go soft first. Shallots store better but you don't get as much of a crop.

    Out: 2 x chicken breasts, they were a bit big so one did the two of use after I'd stuffed it, the other one will be used tomorrow.

    Thanks @zafiro1984, only couple handfuls left, so will use them up. Ms C done a pretty braid last year, but there was just not enough to bother with this year.

    In: large pack of chicken breasts, poached already. Half batch of courgette and cheddar muffins. 
    Out: ham slices.
